I enjoy animating scenes on my O gauge layout, and have come across a great way to get slower, more-precise realistic action: ...

The Icon PID Position Controller is designed to work seamlessly with the Icon H-Bridge module. When used with a brushed dc motor and quadrature encoder, the two devices form a highly versatile ...

Get faster, more precise motion with fewer unwanted oscillations and overshoots, thanks to a new algorithm. Servo controllers commonly use traditional cascaded configurations in which a velocity loop ...

When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small ...

Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

Disturbance rejection, like command tracking, is usually expressed graphically. The graphs, called disturbance rejection plots, show the effect of PIV gains on disturbance torque applied to the shaft ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries In servo systems, optimising performance factors such as gain and phase shift is ...

Scanning the heavens with a telescope is a great way to spend long, clear winter nights, but using a manual telescope can get to be a drag. A motorized mount with altitude and azimuth control is basic ...
